Chapter 13 Chapter 13 They are a perfect match, but what about him? ...

In the next few days, in addition to copying books and reciting scriptures as usual, Wu Jingxun also had to learn the etiquette and rules of the Flower God Festival.

The Flower God's Raft finally came in handy.

"Which month did you draw?"

As they gathered together more often, they realized that Wu Jingxun was not the cold beauty as rumored. Instead, she was very good-natured and easily shy.

The young lady in yellow who came forward to talk to Wu Jingxun at this time was the third wife of the Prince's Guardian, named Huang Meizhu.

The young lady's fragrant body leaned against him. Wu Jingxun felt a little uncomfortable and turned the exquisite flower raft in his hand over to show her.

"Oh, it's the peony. The Flower God Festival is held in May, and the peony is the flower god of May. Jingxun, you're so lucky!"

Although the twelve flower gods are not divided by size and are only arranged according to the order of the months, the peony naturally has a bit more joy at that time.

Everyone else looked towards Wu Jingxun.

"Have you ladies made your choices? Now that we have decided on the order of the Twelve Flower Gods, it's time for us to learn how to throw the flowers and sprinkle water." The palace's etiquette lady smiled and took the Flower God rafts from everyone's hands. She asked the maid beside her to take note of this, then folded her hands in front of her abdomen and said with a smile.

"Is there any special technique in throwing flowers and sprinkler water?" Huang Meizhu was very curious. She went to the street every year to see the goddess of flowers. She only thought that the falling petals were beautiful and the outstretched hands were even more beautiful, but she didn't notice that there were other details involved.

The female official smiled and said, "Yes, there are requirements for the smile, sitting posture, gestures, and even the arc of the earrings and step hairpins."

Huang Meizhu uttered a small "ah" and took advantage of the female official's inattention to lie on Wu Jingxun again, sniffing the faint fragrance coming from her body and sticking out her tongue: "It's so troublesome. If I had known that day would come, I wouldn't have stood up."

Wu Jingxun comforted her softly: "It's always good to try new things."

For her, as long as she can escape from the boring life day after day, it doesn't matter if it's a little difficult or tiring.

Huang Meizhu became happy again after being patted by the girl's soft hands.

The female official glanced at him, and Wu Jingxun straightened up nervously.

The masters that Madam Tong found for her were all very strict. Looking back on her childhood, what Wu Jingxun remembered most was the crisp and dull sound of the ruler hitting her flesh.

The female official didn't say much, and then began to teach them the etiquette and posture when acting as the goddess of flowers.

This teaching session lasted for nearly three hours. Although the girls usually learned etiquette from the maids in the mansion, they were all spoiled. After practicing for so long, even the straightest backs would relax and they would want to rest for a while.

The female official walked past Wu Jingxun. Everyone had their arms stretched out straight, with a jade ruler across their wrists and a bowl of water on top.

There were more or less some waves in other people's water bowls, but hers was calm, and her body was straight and steady.

The female official smiled and praised: "Not bad."

This was the first time Wu Jingxun received praise from the character of "Master".

It turns out that when learning something, there can be other voices besides punishment and ridicule.

Cui Ping was waiting for Wu Jingxun in the carriage. Seeing a faint smile on her soft, pale face, she asked her, "Just now, I saw the other girls getting off the carriage, all of them looked exhausted. Madam, you are so cheerful and happy."

This kind of thing was not painful for her, and was even more fun than studying in the mansion.

Wu Jingxun pursed her lips and said, "Let's go back first."

Cuiping uttered a sigh and stuck her head out to speak to the driver. The carriage drove off with a gurgle. She began busily unpacking again, "I bought a lot of snacks, sweet osmanthus candied taro shoots, sugar-roasted chestnuts... I heard there's a place that makes delicious rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice. Would you like some, my lady?"

Wu Jingxun looked into Cuiping's eager eyes and asked, "What time is it?"

There's hope!

Cuiping said with a smile, "It's still early. Madam won't notice if I go back after eating!"

Wu Jingxun nodded, which was considered as agreement.

Because of her, Cuiping and Ziping could not leave the house like other maids and were always confined to the yard.

Wu Jingxun felt for his purse, wanting to count out some coins to buy rice dumplings with fermented rice wine later.

Through the soft satin sachet, I should have felt a round pearl, but it was gone.

Thinking of that person, Wu Jingxun was in a trance for a moment, wondering whether Master Pei had found him.

I should thank him again.

Cuiping happily accepted a silver coin, then leaned over to Wu Jingxun mysteriously, whispering, "I just heard a story!"

Wu Jingxun looked at her speechlessly.

Buying snacks and eating melon seeds while listening to stories...

Cui Ping felt a little guilty under her clear gaze, but she still insisted: "This matter is related to you, my lady, so I leaned over to listen!"

Well, I blamed her wrongly.

Wu Jingxun nodded, motioning for her to continue.

Cui Ping cleared her throat. "Speaking of the Marquis of Pingning, he was the dream lover of thousands of young girls in Jinling. He stood guard at the border for five years, enduring the harsh weather and frost, unwavering in his determination, all for the sake of restoring peace to the people of Jin and his beloved..."

During Cuiping's affectionate recitation, Wu Jingxun was choked, and a few blushes appeared on her flawless jade-white face.

Cuiping hurried over to calm her down, patting her back while continuing to recite with deep emotion: "No matter how great a hero is, there is always a white moonlight in his heart... As soon as he returned to Jinling, he could not restrain the tenderness in his heart and ran towards the white moonlight. Not even the flames rising into the sky could separate them..."

Cui Ping clasped her hands together in front of her chest and said intoxicatedly, "My dear, what a beautiful love story, what a perfect match these two people are!"

If she hadn't experienced it herself, she would have almost believed it.

Wu Jingxun said helplessly: "Prince Pei happened to pass by and saw that something happened on the farm, so he went in to help." He didn't come specifically for her.

Cui Ping didn't believe it: "Biyou Manor is so far away. Why would a busy man like the Prince run so far if he didn't want to see you secretly?"

Wu Jingxun was stunned.

Cui Ping made the final decision: "The prince just likes you!"

This is really great. After my wife gets married, they will surely live in harmony with each other. Madam Tong will not be able to interfere in the future. The prince will definitely protect my wife!

Cuiping was immersed in her beautiful vision of the future. Knowing that he couldn't persuade her, Wu Jingxun sat quietly aside, looking at the bustling scene outside the window.

Suddenly, a doubt came into her mind.

Where did these things come from?

If my mother knew... she would definitely be angry again.

But before that, she wanted to drink a bowl of rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice to sweeten her mouth.

Cuiping helped her get off the carriage and muttered, "There are so many people queuing up. Why don't you go back to the carriage and wait? I'll go buy it."

It was a rare opportunity to breathe some urban air. Wu Jingxun shook his head and said, "Sitting for so long is tiring."

The master and servant lined up quietly. Cuiping suddenly tugged at her excitedly, "Madam, look, it's that hunky guard from the farm! He's over there... er, selling leather?"

Wu Jingxun's mind moved, and he looked in the direction Cuiping pointed.

Pei Huaiguang, who was guarding the stall, happened to look up.

Their eyes met.

The author has something to say:

Today's Diary Mini-Theatre——

Wu Banban: This was the first time I was praised by my teacher, so I rewarded myself with a bowl of rice dumplings made with fermented rice wine.

Pei Da: I heard someone spread the love story between her and me... How rude... I'm so happy... Will she be embarrassed after hearing it... Who is so gossipy... That's all, she still has some real insights... It means that there are still many people who recognize her and me, right? I'm so happy

Pei Er: I set up the stall to win, so why do I feel so depressed and embarrassed when I see her?
